Ren'Py - Completed - iNSight of you [v1.0] [AdventAnyx]

So this game is pretty... Memey. The story is shaky at best and the characters barely make sense. The whole arc with the first girl is a difficult swallow.
But that's just the first chapter, after that it really shows it's true face and things get intriguing, hot and devious! Truly good.

With that said, it's good game!! It's pretty fun once you get over the initial headache that is the dialogue and logical reasoning. Renders are good and the MC might look like a tool, but he doesn't act like one and has some real balls.

The hot animations, a devious humiliation plot, good sense of humor and sharp dialogue would have made this an instant 5-star for me. BUT as it stands, the gameplay is just way too grindy and all over the place. Having to repeat the same event multiple times to reach the next corruption step or plot point, is just a waste of time. So for that it loses a solid star.

I wish the game had continued on the VN path of the fantastic introduction, with some choices here and there; it would have made for an amazing (albeit much shorter) experience.

Fantastic game. Story isn't just filler like most other titles, corruption scales very well. Animation and character design is very good, dialogue makes you smile instead of cringe. Excitingly waiting for more A+

The game follows the journey of the son of a deceased crime lord, who is tasked with infiltrating a company lead by a very shrewd bitch. We must show her who's the boss now.

If you're into trainer games this should be right up your alley. The only caveat is it's not a trainer per se; I'd classify it more as a sort of management simulator. There's much more going on here than you'd find in your standard trainer game. There's a fantastic story with fully fleshed out characters here.

In short, the game is worth your time. Below are somewhat random thoughts on my experience.

I went the Harem route, and Maya and Esther are amazing and compliment one another perfectly. It's one thing to have two interesting female LIs that.. just sort of exist side by side with only the MC to connect them, but to be able to create an entertaining and interesting dynamic between both of them and the MC (aside purely that of sex and hot scenes) consistently throughout is quite remarkable. They are great supplemental content to the bread and butter of the game:

Oh Gloria. Gloria Gloria.

I feel writing too much about her would spoil the experience, so all I'm going to say is the journey we've gone through together thus far has been one of the most memorable experiences I've had in anything available on this site.

My only complaint would be gameplay management mechanics; just when I got the feel for a day-to-day routine, a chapter would change and I'd have to read stuff on what to do all over again in a system where I was initially overwhelmed already.

That said, it's a small complaint hardly worth noting. Don't let it distract you from the experience; it truly appears more complicated than it is in reality. Eventually everything flows pretty naturally in a surprisingly satisfying way. And this is coming from someone whose favorite type of 'game' is purely Kinetic novels: I simply don't trust amateur devs to provide fair and enjoyable gameplay mechanics on this site. But I'm a cynical bastard so don't judge me. This game stands out as one of the few to break that tradition for me.

If your middle name is depravity and you're looking to engage in some super sexy domination with a little adorable (but also sexy) love on the side, look no further than this game.

This is one of the best porn games I have played period. I was doubting the 3d modules since I am usually not into that but this is really well made and the scenes are really well made.
the game overall is amazing with it being two section.
first section: is the just kinetic novel with plenty of story and a lot of sexy scenes and explanation about the world and the start of the story, plenty of humor and I like each character introduction and expressions
second part: an open sandbox trainer-like game where the "mind control" is more of a body response control where you train your Boss to be more "open" to suggestions and senstation boosting say her sense of smell to be more tunred on by smelling cum or dicks etc . it's pretty fun overall and the prorgression is fine if only held back by how tedious it's sometimes to take care of her not to kill you .

overall I highly recommend the game and I absolutely love it .

At first when I read the description of this game, that we will be manipulating other people's minds I thought about to skip this game, because I'm not really a fan of mind control genre and see it as cheats or an excuse for not making complex story with realistic relationships between characters. But the game had a high rating and I was bored, so I decided to give it a chance, and not in vain as it turned out.

Overall I think this game deserve 3 stars, which can be count as normal, and still it's much better than the games we usually see here. But I give it four stars, because I was really into story and the dev's style of writing. So my rating for this game it's kinda investment in the future, because as for now, the game has some flaws, but if the dev manage to fix biggest ones and finish this game , he can create a really good game.


Good points

• Mind control. As it turns out mind control in this game has a well-reasoned base and it logically built into the plot. There is no magic about it, only pure science. Basically it's chip which control processes in human body. Even if you seriously think about it, I believe something like this can be possible in reality in some not distant future. While it give the MC advantages it doesn't make him invincible and the process is quite complicated. He even managed to fuck up drastically when he tested this chip, so he almost killed his girlfriend. Also mind control not the ultimate tool, the MC will have to solve many problems in other ways.
• Story. The story has some clichés, but overall is well done it keeps you intrigued and contains some plot twists.
• The writing. The biggest good point of this game, that makes plot even better. Some plot twists and ways out of difficult situations are written in an unusual author's manner, which makes the narrative unique and give you positive impressions.
• Humor. Most characters like to swearing on every occasion, but they doing it by choosing quite unusual words, which generate quite comical situations. Despite that humor it's a subjective thing, I classified it as a plus, because even if the jokes didn't make me laugh out loud, they did make me smile. Besides the dev quite competent with using memes, funny remarks and quotes.
• Characters. All characters are good written and feels unique and while they often like too fool around, they are interesting to follow.
• Gameplay mechanics. There is variety of interesting features like access to hidden cameras, sexual training, various indicators of sexual frustration etc.

Neutral points

• NTR. While I found quite stupid to give game bad points or rating for kinks it contain, I decided to move NTR into neutral points simply because it's not yet developed. There is some events with 2 girls, they are well written, but the amount of them is quite few. Personally I'm not really into jealous that accompanies NTR genre, but I like heavy corruption, to make perfect sluts from the girls and with this aspect the dev managing very well. I hope the dev don't give up on this route.
• Animations. As I see many people either not acknowledged about Honey Select or didn't played much games based on it, because they giving good rating for standard HS animations. Still, despite amount of standard animations, the dev making attempts to create some custom animations which is plus, but there is not too many of them. It could be a good point, and maybe even additional half star for rating, if they weren't be standard. But the dev also integrated animations in almost every scene in the game like routine actions, dancing, talking etc. There is a lot of them, it makes scenes livelier and more variable and that's why animations in the neutral points.

Bad points

• Amount of characters. While it give some depth to existing ones, it causes boredom. Because you can only interact with 3 female characters, 2 of them - are close friends, so they content kinda merged to each other and another one - is the main plot character which we train and blackmail, so she has much more content than the others. If the developer had given us at least two more characters to interact with from the beginning it would solve the problem.
• The grind. While I have some tolerance to grind, and can find such gameplay enjoyable if the things done right, this game definitely need some adjustments. I can't agree with most people here that grind in this game is terrifying (I've seen much worse examples), because before chapter 3 I didn't have any problem with it and every indicator was filled up in a few game days. But in chapter 3 the amount you need to reach started to be really huge like 9000 points , while you get like ~500 points for a day. As I see it, the major problem with the grind mechanics in every game, that contains them, is that there is nothing we can do between repeating actions. The story kinda stopping to flow and we just work our ass off for another piece of the story. In my opinion there should be some events between this actions to make them less routine and feel rewarding. Like you doing repeating actions, but after few of them you see some small story continuation, or you discover another sidequest which will fade your boredom or help advance the plot.
  My suggestion is to lower the needed amounts from 9000 like in the game to 4000. Make some sidequests and more repeatable events during days to break up the routine.
• Game mechanic changes. The game starting as kinetic novel with good flowing story, but after an hour it changes it direction towards sandbox gameplay. I must admit I'm not a fan of kinetic novels and like to have impact on the story, but the narrative was actually good, so I didn't really care. Still, normally, I would prefer to play either visual novel with choices or sandbox, not two of them in the same time. This merge and sudden change of narration flow ruins atmosphere and overall player experience. If the dev would give choices to player earlier and continue this vn style, that would be one of problem solutions. Another one would be if it wasn't integrated so sudden, but slowly with gradual teaching of new mechanics to the player. Still even despite this changes, the game more than playable, but it can scare off some players. Anyway what done is done, I hope if the dev ever try to make another game, he don't repeat this mistakes.

Afterword
While I'm not really fan of the BDSM and don't found myself sexualy interested in main heroine which we corrupt and train, I was really enjoying the plot and was intrigued what happens next. And after I discovered the opportunity with striptease club, I was fired up with great interest to corrupt all the main girls in this game.

Great art and animations and good overall story-line but a mess to play!

I followed this game from the beginning and really loved where this was heading. I love corruption games and the premise of this one was really great. The main target is to corrupt Gloria, an Ice Queen who is the boss of a company. Sadly the heavy grind and the messy way the gameplay elements - which themselves are actually really good - are implemented makes it very hard to enjoy the game. The games problem is actually too much of everything. Your are overwhelmed by all the features and elements.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Version: Update 0.8a

Generally speaking: If you are into some kind of Corruption, Domination and Humiliation this might be exactly what you looked for.

The protagonist is a evil minded genius, who wants to revenge himself. The game plays like a trainer game featuring a lot of different aspects and gameplay features.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros:

• Story - The stroy is quite good, giving a good background and setting for the whole game and the corruption. The characters are introduced nicely and have good personalities and distinctive behavior.
• Story writing - Really good writing so far - real english. Very intelligent and also with a lot of humor. I like the heart elements showing the affection of the female characters as well as the dom and dirty talk from the male protagonist.
• Attention to detail - be it with the characters, the world, the scenes. Everything seemes well-thought. You can feel the that the dev puts a lot of effort in this game.
• The Dev - Updates come very regulary and offer a whole lot of content!
• Kinks - dev is implementing some nice different kinks and fetishes in the game, such as BDSM, maledom, blackmail and so on.
• Art - the art itself is absolutley amazing! Well done Dev! There is a lot of attention to detail especially within the characters and their development. The animations are integrated really nicely and all gameplay features have their own design. Fantastic work!

Mediocre:

• Corruption progress - The Dev takes the time to point out how the different characters in the story are corrupted. Still sometimes I feel that there are some scenes missing. I would have enjoyed more different first time sex scenes with Gloria or more groping before or condom sex before raw. The leaps from one major event to the next are too big for me.
• Scenes - the scenes themself are very well done - but most of them feel far too short. I really like the compilations of sex scenes that spread over many hours but such scenes are very rare. All in all I would wish for more scenes and longer ones.
• Gameplay elements - While the gameplay elements themselves and the corruption elements specifically are really well thought and nicely done they are badly implemented. The big problem is that there are actually too many elements and details - its too much of everything, they are all over the place and even though I played this game from the beginning I feel totally overwhelmed and feel like I cant enjoy the story or the corruption progress anymore. You really feel lost within the game.

Cons:

• Missing Gallery - just that.
• Grind- while within some parts of the game the story and the corruption progress without any grind there are parts where the grind is insane. This non-linear way the game is constructed breaks its immersion and makes it exhausting to play. A real mood killer.
• It's a mess! - The game wants to do too much. I feel totally lost within all the gameplay elements and things that are going on. Actually this is really sad, because the really good story, corruption progress and character desgin as well as the fantastic art are drained out by this mess. The game is absolutely exhausting to play. For me this sadly destroyed the whole game.

Final thoughts:

While I can recommend this game I really hope the dev takes care of this mess and polishes the gameplay and game design. Otherwise I will never really come enjoy the full potential of this game. Maybe the premise was too big. Maybe the dev is too much of a genius to think simple. I really feel this game wants too much, and while when you look at the details they are done absolutely amazing the bigger picture just does not work.

I really want to love this game but at this point its just not possible for me any longer. I hope the dev manages to tidy up this mess and polishes the what needs to be polished. If so, I will definitily come back and adjust my review.

All the best luck to the dev for his ongoing journey. I hope you succeed in what you aim for.

Excellent game, I definitely recommend it. The story is exciting, although not always believable (but that's to be expected for a porn game.) The story does get confusing in the newer updates but hopefully, it will make more sense later on.

The animations are great and the girls are cute. It nice to see a game with a bit more gameplay than "go talk to this girl at this time in this location to progress her story." It is a bit grindy but I didn't mind too much. Music is great, not sure how the developer is using copyrighted music but the music choices are great and fit nicely in the game.

Excited to see what comes with the new updates.

This is a good trainer game. The plot is fine and the writing/dialogue is a step up from other trainer games with some of the meme references and esoteric references (ShindoL). At least there is some playfulness and charm between the characters. As such I didn't skip dialogue all that much.

The entire system of Resistance/Lewdness looks intimidating at first but really it's not that hard to comprehend.

It's a little bit grindy but nothing too tedious, as expected from a trainer game.

For future updates, I'm hoping for anal action between the MC and the girls, some POV animations if possible and unique scenes with Gloria where its just 1 on 1 session (With BDSM, anal, watersports, humiliation)

Dude , it's my request to you to don't change a thing. I fucking love this game and everything about it . It's like 2 am right now and I'm writing this , just know that there will be haters but keep doing your shit.

Awesome game! Not the usual corruption game and the story make it unique and fun to play . Also, humours and romance make it so enticing to continue. And, the combination of camera aspect and animation make the game so alive, awesome concept overall.
Ch 1-2 seems to be 'intro', 3-6 'buildup', and 7a-7b 'climax'. So it seems the next one will be the 'end game'?

I honestly don't know how to rate this game.

The VN part? Definitely at least a 4, with a possibility of being a 5. It's genuinely great. From having read stuff on here, it appears as if the author misunderstands what makes the VN part so damn great. It's having a somewhat (at least in the beginning, I quit and uninstalled when Gloria was lvl 6, more on that later) decent story, good characters, and good character moments. The graphics and the lewd parts are also quite great. It could be better, but all of those things are very good.

What murders the game is the grind. Holy fuck the grind. I am convinced that the other reviewers are either paid shills or MMO players, nobody else would ever tolerate that grind. Spoilers ahead, but they're essential to understanding why I'm so upset with this.

Gloria lvl 6 follows yet another pretty grindy section, where the player has to waste time waiting for her desire meter to go up. But hell, at least there's something to like, do, while it's going up. The event happens and her Lewdness gets raised to 20. The next event requirement is to raise her Lewdness to 50.

The most efficient way of doing it that I found raises her lewdness by about 3 a week - it's waiting for her desire to go up, locking her, and spamming her with porn, then letting her cum when she gets to 6000 desire. That takes about 10 minutes of solid clicking. To get her Lewdness up by 3 points. You gotta do that 10 times. You can also explore other stuff, but at that point, there isn't much of that other stuff to explore. So you're stuck with an hour and a half of solid clicking. That's just unplayable. I might change this review if the author tells me a more efficient way to do this, that would get me through in like 20 minutes max, but as it stands - the game is unplayable.

That is honestly a real shame. While I'm not a big fan of NTR (and despite making fun of NTR, this game still has at least some with Gloria's elevator scene - we wanna get into her pants and she sleeps with someone else, that counts), the game is still real good. Like, really up there among the best games on here. But unless you're willing to edit save files all the time, which I'm not, you won't see any of it.

Lots of fetish, great renders, perhaps not a style of render for everyone, but well made. Story can feel typical, but you can't reinvent the classics. Girls are varied and well thought out. Great sex scenes. CREAMPIES!!

If you are into a trainer/submission games with a little bit of builder in it (research + build + turn on action), then this is the game for you. Dev has a sense of humor and doesn't take him/herself too seriously. Have enjoyed a ton so far.

Great game with the occasional bugs but it is still in development so it is expected. The visuals were nice and the fetishes presented in the game were amazing and totally up my alley. Looking forward to the future updates, especially if more female characters were added for the MC to degrade!

Impresive game. Best I have played for me till now.
Biggest advantage the kinks and the graphics. If you are into degrading a strong woman without an end this is great. Story is not incredible but good enough without too much blah blah to skip
I am waiting for more content

A gem with it's own category!

It's so different than anything I've played (which is a good thing).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+ It's the most brutally arousing kinks and scenes ever!
+ I don't know what engine or game you use for the models and animations, but they are so much better than any illusion game (my opinion).
+ Never been more confused in what will happen next (in a good way)
+ A bit grindy but I like it.... it builds tension!
+ It's so different and interesting, there is a lot of thought put into the conversations and the story also!!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Minuses??? what minuses ???

Insane game really light (no tragedies, just kinks and fun) focused on kinks and fetishes... Insanely good game I hope to be able to support it very soon.
Thank you for the great game!

Learned how to write a review just to post this. This game has quickly become my favorite on the site. The kinks are right up my alley - male domination, humiliation, degrading powerful women - and the execution and mechanics are not only already great but also improving with each release. The game starts a little slow with a basically totally linear intro but it is well worth getting past that to the actual gameplay.

AdventAnyx I hope you stick around for the long term and continue giving us lots more content and women to degrade! Will definitely be considering becoming a Patron.

excelent content and gameplay, love the jokes u put in the game.
it is well made and the animations are amazing and the models beautifull.
been a long time that there was such a master piece (pardon my english)

Excellent game, with animations everywhere, and a large number of scenes. Definitely worth playing if you're into denial/orgasm control. Its pretty rare to see a game with those themes on this site, so I love it. I find corruption elements in many games boring and unimaginative, but for this game, that aspect fits into the story and makes sense. I won't give any spoilers, but there's some pretty hot stuff in there. Give it a try!
